Stainless Steel Single-Side Threaded Nipples
A stainless single-end nipple is an AISI 304 part with one male-threaded end and one plain weld end. It provides the transition from a welded stainless line or tank to a threaded device.
It is used to create gauge, sensor and drain ports on stainless tanks and manifolds. It is supplied in 12 sizes from 1/8″ to 4″.
Main Applications
- Stainless tank and reactor ports
- Pressure gauge and sensor connections
- Drain and sampling points
- Threaded valve connections on welded lines
- Instrument points on CIP lines
- Stainless manifold outlets

How to Choose?
- Measure the device threadDetermine the thread size of the sensor or valve to connect.
- Determine the weld locationPlan the weld point on the tank or line.
- Choose the lengthTake insulation or jacket thickness into account.
- Plan the thread sealingUse a tape or sealant that reduces galling on stainless threads.
